Video Transcript for Rhino Rack Roof Rack Review - 2013 Chevrolet Malibu
Speaker 1: Today on our 2013 Chevrolet Malibu we'll be taking a look at and showing how to install the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System. This is going to consist of the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars, part number RRVA126B-2, the Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs, part number RRRLKVA, and the Fit Kit for our Malibu, part number DK338.The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System is a great solution for carrying your accessories on your roof, whether those are bike racks, ski and snowboard carriers, kayak carriers, or cargo baskets. The aerodynamic shape of our bars, along with the weather strip, are going to help to reduce wind noise and drag. If we take off our end cap, that weather strip can also easily be removed, cut down, and placed in with channel mounted accessories. The end cap on our crossbar has a plastic lock core which can easily be replaced with a metal lock core to prevent theft and tampering. The leg kit has a lockable cover which will help to prevent theft and tampering of your roof rack system as a whole.The Fit Kit itself is going to be custom cut to our vehicle to give it a nice secure fit.
It's also going to have rubber coating on any portion that touches our vehicle to prevent any scratches or abrasions. The Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System has a 165 pound weight capacity, though you do want to double check your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure it can withstand that much weight. It's going to come with a limited lifetime warranty and is quick and easy to install. We'll show you how to do that now.We have our crossbar. We're going to get two of those.
We'll get an end cap key, four end caps for our crossbar, four end caps for our legs, as well as keys. Our legs, we will get four of those as well, including a tool to tighten everything down. Then we have our clamp and our pad. We'll get four of each of those for our Fit Kit. We've provided our own flat tape measure just to measure everything out.Next we're going to take our leg kit.
We're going to start by undoing our bolt here in the center. We'll take that out. We'll place our clamp over the top and tighten our bolt back down. We just want to tighten our bolt down enough so that it holds our clamp in place. Then we can flip our leg kit over.
We're going to pop off the bottom plastic piece. Making sure that the arrow on each side is facing up, we'll take that rubber pad and we're just going to close up all the holes. Make sure that our arrow faces towards our clamp. Secure that back on and we can slide this onto our crossbar. We'll slide that into place.Now we'll measure out this inside strip here. Usually with the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Kit you'll get measuring strips that you can place inside this strip on the bottom. This is going to help to reduce wind noise and drag. It's also going to have the numbers on the bottom to measure out. You would just cut wherever you need it, place it in. Then I suggest cutting the rest of it down to fit on the outside edge. For now we're just going to use our flat tape measure and measure out to 17.8 centimeters. We'll tighten that down with our included tool. I just like to double check my measurement. We'll take our crossbar end cap, place it on, and we can lock it into place. Now we're ready to open up the doors on our vehicle and load up our crossbar.now we can take our crossbar, gently set it across the roof of our vehicle. We want to make sure that our clamps grab around the door frame here on each side. Now we can measure out our crossbar spread from the middle of the front foot pack to the middle of the back. We're going to have 70 centimeters according to our instructions. Again we'll do the same thing for the other side. Now we can tighten down our clamps. We're going to start by tightening it down so that our clamp sits just up against our door frame. Taking that included tool once again and just tightening down our bolt. Now we'll know when we have enough torque behind our bolt when the skinnier end of our torque tool is completely straight just like you see here. Now we can take our end cap for our leg kit, place it on and lock it into place, and we're ready to load up our gear and hit the road. That's going to be our completed look at the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System on our 2013 Chevrolet Malibu.

Awesome product! Was a bit skeptical about it moving or sliding on my roof since I'd never installed a rack like this. Pretty straight forward installation [thanks to my smart wife] and this thing is solid! Has been a huge help with added cargo space for my sedan + etrailer customer service is ridiculously awesome.
by: Hoffers03/22/2014
Rack feels very sturdy and was easy to assemble and install. Since I've just installed this rack, time and usage will determine my overall satisfaction.

Terrific rack - sturdy and solid - at a good price.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
Installed this and 65" Vortex Areo crossbars on a 2015 RAM 5500 chassis cab/crew cab. It is listed to fit 1500 to 3500 RAM's and neither Rhino-Rack or etrailer would confirm it would fit the 5500. My research suggested there was not much, if any difference, between the 3500 and 5500 crew cab, so ordered it any way. Installation was relatively easy, fit seemed to be good and have made multiple 200-300 mile trips with a 75lb kayak. Good price, great customer service and fast delivery through etrailer.
Comments
Neither Rhino-Rack nor etrailer.com have tested the roof rack on a 5500 ChassisCab, which is why we couldnt confirm the fit.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
The rack was fairly easy to mount on my Durango. I was able to load my kayak from the side since I have a bike rack on the rear. I use a bathroom rug and flip the boat up on the car, then slide the boat directly onto the rack. I only carry it this way for short drives to local lakes. There is some wind noise at 50 mph.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
We originally got this rack system (Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Naked Roof Item #DK427) mostly for our Kayak racks on our 2015 Ford F-150, which worked great. Then we totaled our F-150 and the racks actually fit on our new 2022 GMC Sierra 2500 HD P/U. We took it on a 16,000 mile trip from the East Coast to Alaska with both 12 ft. kayaks on the top. Through the various speeds (sometimes up to 80 mph), weather conditions, and the high crosswinds of the mid-West, the racks help up perfectly. No issues or problems. I would recommend these to anyone.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
I've had this Rhino Rack 2500 series for one year. I've outfitted the rack with one "J hook" style kayak holder and one "cradle" kayak holder. I am able to securely travel with two kayaks on the roof of my 2014 Honda Civic sedan without issue. During the one year I've had this rack I've traveled over 1,000 miles with two 12 foot+ kayaks on my roof. I can set cruise control at 70mph and not worry about the rack failing. I rate it four (4) stars because the cradles will sometimes move during a long drive and have to be readjusted. This is something that is more cosmetic in the since it looks slightly off, however it does not affect the racks security.

Fairly easy installation. Read the instructions thoroughly before hand and get familiar with the parts. Take care when installing mounting studs onto car itself so as not to strip or cross thread them. Once installed they look great.
Comments
Fantastic! Very little noise on highway and sturdy.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
After a year the rack has stood the test of time and daily use. I've set it properly and for the most part forgotten about it. I've used the rack to haul a ton of furniture properly tied down to my sedan's roof.Ive also postponed getting a larger car by gaining space in the roof box. I still recommend this product.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
Fit my Honda CRV perfectly and the whole kit was easy to install. The cargo box I ordered for in the racks perfectly. Of course there was some noise when traveling, and also reduced gas mileage, but that is to be expected. The very slight whistle when driving at higher speeds was easy to tune out. Service from etrailer was great and shipping was quick! I also appreciate all of the information and tutorials available. Would order from this company again.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
I bought these to be able to haul 4 kayaks on the roof of my 2017 Ram Mega cab while pulling our fifth wheel. We have use the Rhino Rack several times including a trip from Kentucky to Montana and back with no issues. I highly recommend the Rhino Rack for extra cargo capacity on top of your pickup. The instructions were good and installation was pretty straight forward. I plan to take the system off in the winter which will be easy to do.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
Bought these in order to carry my snowboarding gear around northern Maine, Toyota didn't have racks for my car so I bought from here. Having them on for about 10 months I haven't had a single problem and are as strong as they were when I first put them on.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
I bought this last yr to haul my kayaks on my Toyota camry. Being 5'2", getting them on top of my SUV was next to impossible for me and my daughters. Since then, I have traveled from Michigan, all the way to the west coast with two 13' ft kayaks. These racks have been absolutely perfect in every aspect. I mounted them myself, and checked them regularly to see if they needed adjusted. Not once did they loosen or move. They with stood Traveling with speed limits reaching 80 mph on I84, along with the windy weather on our cross-country trip. My car moved around from the high winds, and the racks stayed put. These racks have by far reached and surpassed every expectation I had when purchasing them. I would not recommend another. Only thing I would recommend is showing installation for both front and back bars, since the measurements are slightly different for both. As I had to figure this out my self, after watching the installation video. Thank you Rhino for providing such a high quality product.

Great product. I put the removable racks and brackets on my car as soon as I received them in the mail and have not removed them since. They are used everyday to hold my Yakima rooftop box.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
From the minute Erica, from etrailer answered the phone and took my order, the process of getting my new Rhino-Rack 2500 was easy. Once my auto body shop installed the rack, I saw what a quality product the Rhino-Rack 2500 is. It fits my 2017 Toyota Corolla like it was from the factory. It looks great on the car and the functionality is excellent. I love it and highly recommend etrailer and Rhino-Rack products

As you can tell by the photo, they never came. Thank you [vendor] for having a tow hitch basket in stock. They saved the day as my other storage option did not arrive, even with the additional $$ paid for faster shipping.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
I’ve never had a Rhino Rack before. Much of the rack is plastic, but seems secure and looks nice. I’m grateful, because this is the only rack built to fit my Toyota Rav 4 . It’s not noisy and doesn’t seem to affect my mileage

Solid and sturdy. Installation was a little tricky but instructions are clear and plenty of [online] videos to help.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
Very impressed with this rack system so far! Was hesitant at first based on some reviews talking about wind noise, but with the windows up I can hear almost no difference. The noise isolating strips are inside the rack after removing the end cap, so be sure to give them a good shake before assuming they are missing (as per the instructions). Very sturdy and assembled easily.

Thanks to etrailer, I am ready to do some serious summer exploring with my 2013 Mazda 3! Rhino Racks, Malone top box, and Kuat bike rack!

Mounted on 2001 GMC Sierra 2500HD. Excellent fit. Looks clean on truck. Sturdy. Small amount of noise. I would buy again and recommend to others. Price far better than some of the big names for the same quality.

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
The boxes arrived undamaged.
Everything was individually packaged, except the bolts, washers & lock washers. (They were floating around free in the box.)
There were also no decals stating Right Rear, Right Front, Left Rear or Left Front, like the instructions specifies.
The metal straps has scuff marks like they have been used.
One screw that attaches leg to rail was almost stripped out but I'm not taking it apart for a picture...
After over an hour installing the front, I took it apart and swapped out one leg and then it worked fine.
Since nothing was marked I had a front and a rear paired up which didn't work, of course. After that, the back bar installed in less than 5 minutes.
I'm confident if this would have been a new packaged item (with the decals) it would have taken less than 20-30 minutes to install.
I have 7 pics showing all I listed above but this form will not allow me to post the pics.

Still holding strong! even after 240+ lbs on a 1200 miles trip!! Would definitely purchase again..

Review from a similar DK in Roof Rack
This rack is a great product and has worked great for the kayaks I hauled across the country over the last year. Only things I can complain about is the extra wind noise with them on, and the lack of strap anchors. Otherwise, has worked great for me.

view full answer... - Length of Rhino Rack Crossbars for 2013 Chevy MalibuAccording to the Rhino Rack website, the # RRVA126B-2 and the # DK338 are indeed the correct crossbar/ clamp pack kit for your 2013 Malibu. You will also need the leg kit, # RRRLKVA. I have confirmed this during a phone conversation with my Rhino Rack representative. He could not tell me how much overhang there would be on either side of the vehicle, but he did say that their engineering staff have determined that the 49 inch bars were the proper length for the vehicle. We have not yet...

The best bang-for-your-buck roof rack we offer is the Rhino Rack part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA and # DK338 which is a confirmed custom fit. Then for a cargo basket that would fit the rack and allow you to place your bag on top you'd want the Thule part # TH859XT which would fit and work great.

I was also unable to find this capacity, but there's no reason at all Chevy shouldn't be able to tell you this as they manufacture the vehicle so I recommend contacting them again and insisting on an answer one way or another. They may say that the capacity is whatever the roof rack can handle, and I cannot imagine you would have any issues with the weight...
